Kurenai no buta

It was originally planned as a 30- to 40-minute in-flight movie for Japan Airlines. Director Hayao Miyazaki eventually expanded it into a feature-length production.

At 54 minutes in, Porco is in a pub with a Shell logo on the outside wall; that logo was used from 1971 to 1995.

The opening text explaining the setting is given in Japanese, Italian, Korean, English, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, French and German. The English version reads as follows: "This motion picture is set over the Mediterranean Sea in an age when seaplanes ruled the waves. It tells a story of a valiant pig, who fought against flying pirates, for his pride, for his lover, and for his fortune. The name of the hero of our story is Crimson Pig."
